CARS response dashboard
Welcome
Welcome to the Coding in Analysis and Research Survey (CARS) 2026 dashboard. Here you can see the response rate by department.
CARS is our annual survey on the use of code in government analysis. You can see the previous results in our online publication.
This year we hope to get over 1,500 responses. So far, we’ve got 673 responses. We will create a customised report for departments where we receive over 20 responses. If you’re interested in seeing this, please promote the survey in your department.
